    Opinions wanted...

    I'm thinking of painting the frame on my Z red. What do you guys think?

    I'm a little unsure of what it would look like. Tough call, i've been debating it for awhile.

    That is a tough choice. I think it looks great the way it is now.

    If you're planning on keeping that seatcover, it seems like blue might be a better choice to me. If you keep the same seatcover & plastics, even with the little bit of red that is in them, I think a red frame might seem out of place.

    Well there is one way to find out!

    Have a member on here give it the photo shop paint job. Quite a few know how to do it and I don't think it takes more then 5 minutes to do so.

    Give MX 600 a PM and he'll do it up in red I'm sure. Blue too if it doesn't take too long?

    I'd leave it black or go with a candy blue color. Not a big fan of the diamond plate rad guards, but looks great other than that. How do you like the shock covers on your forks? Have you seen the new neoprean (sp?) fork boots they have now, they have them in the new dennis kirk.

    I would leave it black. It would be alot of work to change for something your unsure of. My recommendation is powder coat the diamond plate black and it would be easy. It would give you that different look your looking for but would blend in much better with the bike. I think it would look great!! Very nice alternative looking Z

    I was thinking that myself! That diamond plate looks ok in person but it's just too contrasting. I may try opening them up with some decorative holes or something. Wish I had access to a plasma cutter.

    Here's a couple crude renderings. I think that red frame looks sweet, but what would it look like in person? Not sure what I want to do with the shrouds. The nice thing is, I saved the pattern. So I can whip up several different ones in minutes and try them until I like them.

    I like the red, it's different and plays nice with the other red on the trike. You might just want to play witht he shade of it though.
